The FieldNET® by Lindsay Pivot Control System can be fitted to most brands of Centre Pivot. Here, in Western Victoria, the team at Benparts Irrigation have retro-fitted Pivot Control to a Valley Centre Pivot.  

So what exactly is the FieldNET® by Lindsay Pivot Control System and how could it work for you?  

FieldNET® by Lindsay Pivot Control is an irrigation controller designed to upgrade almost any existing brand of pivot to full remote monitoring including variable rate irrigation control.Unlike other remote irrigation control products, Pivot Control mounts at the pivot point and combines with GPS at the end of the pivot for increased precision and greater flexibility. Growers can operate their pivot in the paddock at the control box or remotely using FieldNET. Both elements automatically update together, minimizing the chance for user error. From a smartphone, tablet, or computer, growers can control their pivots and equipment, including pumps, injectors, and monitor sensors for pressure, flow, soil moisture, rainfall, temperature, and other devices. Pivot Control can save growers hours in their week driving out to paddocks to start, stop and check up on their irrigation.
